Your approach won't work if you're behind carrier grade NAT or you can't open ports. My landlord provides my internet so I use tailscale (with headscale on my long distance vps) to connect everything and it works great. It uses LAN when I'm home, and NAT punches when I'm elsewhere.

You will be if you call customer support and get an AI that can't help.

Probably legal (for the buying company) but customers should sue the original company and get paid out of the money used to buy it.

Ditto. I use unique passwords for services I care about / someone could exfiltrate sensitive data, and a cheap reused password for services I don't care about and could easily regain access to with a password reset email.

Entirely depends on who's publishing the image. Many projects publish their own images, in which case you're running their code regardless.

It has co-op, which with this patch now works between consoles and PCs.

It's not even necessarily the ISPs that are doing it. In many cases they don't like this because their users start getting blocked on websites; it's bad actors piggy-packing on legitimate users connections without those users' knowledge.

There are residential IP providers that provide services to scrapers, etc. that involves them having thousands of IPs available from the same IP ranges as real users. They route traffic through these IPs via malware, hacked routers, "free" VPN clients, etc. If you block the IP range for one of these addresses you'll also block real users.
